I think this will be a great project for PSJ after itaewon class to shy away from that ‘romcom king’ title. Really like to see him in more serious roles/darker genres for dramas.

Wow, TLB is now the most commented drama on MDL! I remember when it didn’t air yet, it was bare dust in the comments lol.

Kdramas tend to have a large following on MDL so it upscales the ratings. DAYS hasn’t ended yet. Once it ends there’s an going to be an influx of reviews so there might be a change in ratings.

I did not enjoy it but I definitely won’t discourage people from watching it. Like I said, different vibes for different minds.

I honestly don’t think the pacing is the issue. It just happens to be a very uneventful type of drama set on a winding carousel lol.

I love writing reviews for shows that I watch but I think 16 episodes for a show like this is a tad long given the situation of the meandering plot and unengaging characters. I don’t feel thoroughly engrossed to watch it all the way through so 1/4 of it is where I’m at a standstill lol. Watching 4 episodes is enough for me to formulate an overall opinion seeing how it plays out later on reading the comment section lol.

Even if some don’t like or hate it, they may still want to watch it if there is any progression or what not if it gets better or not.

As for handful of watchers, specifically those who write reviews, sometimes it takes an entire show to watch to formulate an honest opinion or criticism/written critique.

Honestly, I think for a show like this watching 1/4 of it was enough lol.

Lol, thank goodness I dropped this early.

TDK was internet searching how to love someone’s as the last straw for me lol.

TDK & Doom are literally forcing themselves in a corner they didn’t want to be in the first place. The problem is that ‘love’ between the two is the only major (exceedingly dull) plot point that’s driving the story remotely anywhere or completely nowhere lol. The lack of development is also an issue. Everyone seems bored stiff. How am I suppose to care about the relationship between the two main characters if they weren’t wholeheartedly for it to begin with?

They’re just running their mouths & looking pretty at this point lol.

The dialogue between TDK & Doom is the same thing over again in almost every episode. Honestly don’t care about the secondary characters or the whole bland romance that’s stirring up. You can write them out and it wouldn’t put a dent to the story. It seems like the whole ‘push & pull’ will be reoccurring nonsensical conundrum between TDK & Doom through out.

Out of all the new releases of dramas this year that I’ve seen, so far this has to be one of the most uneventful-ill plotted. Weak logic to the magic system with no world building. I still don’t know anything about Doom other than he’s just a walking talking ash machine. Why would TDK risk her life protecting a god who she barely has any emotional connection or decent interaction with who obviously can’t die? He’ll be fine if he gets stabbed lol. I’m barely 5 episodes in but it’s a ‘dropped’ for me.

I’ve heard things about this drama although I’m not sure if the plot nor the cast of actors is enough to persuade me to watch it lol.

Anything Kim Tae Ri is in, it’s an automatic watch. She’s such a versatile and charming actress to watch onscreen. She’s so great, it’s tricky to find actors with a caliber to match her unless they are veteran actors or an actor with a more polished acting skills & Nam Joo Hyuk just doesn’t have that factor.

Although I’m a skeptic & prefer a different actor, the story sounds interesting so let’s see if Nam Joo Hyuk can prove me wrong for this role!

It’s not the romance genre that’s an issue, it’s more likely the execution. Romance genre tend to be over saturated with cliches & tropes that are hamfisted most of the time that lacks nuance or development. Romance that serves as a major plot device usually is a kill buzz for me. If it is not the main focus & decently well written that doesn’t involve unnecessary misunderstandings and whatnot but with mutual form of respect & love, then count me in. I’m not saying relationships based on romance have to be this perfect entity between two individual but conflicts tend to be written annoyingly over the top when it can simply be fixed with proper communication. I adore healthy representation of love even if it’s not written or shown heavily or in grandiose way. Sometimes the little moments can have a huge impact.

Some love it some hate it. Some just simply don't like it & that's fine too lol. Different vibes for different minds. There are valid criticisms for the show.

The only good thing about this drama is Park Bo Young & Ailee's OST. The script is so dull even her acting can’t save it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

His face acting is terrible lol.

Welcome to the same boat! The first 25 episodes are great but it goes downhill from there. I watched this when it aired and I was pretty disappointed. The cast is really amazing though.

My problem is with the characterization, nonexistent plot line, & lack of development. The romance does not make any sense. The two main characters are like loud dry paint.

Depends on your preference.
I’m not into god-human relationship storyline in dramas because it tends to be the same thing run over the mill storyline which always involves an ancient man and young pitiful woman but if you like supernatural stuff it might be up your alley. Try the first 3 episodes. I find the tone of the drama mundane & not much stuff is happening. The dialogue reads like cryptic codes lol.

I’m not sure about the Knetz & audience reaction to the drama. Maybe they too are tired of these stories lol or maybe it’s just this one.

I enjoyed VC as Dong Na & Roy as Gu Fei. But it’s valid for people to feel uncomfortable & critical about the casting since Vicky is 17.

PBY is the most natural skillful actress in her age group. I hope she picks tv project roles with more substance next time.
